ALL BETS ARE OFF

You’re on your own when Venus, the planet of pledges, forms an opposition to Uranus on Oct. 31. For weeks you’ve been getting this sinking feeling that the people you were counting on to show up might just leave you high and dry and this week’s developments confirm it. Maybe they’re fickle, maybe they’re two-faced, or maybe they just became entranced with another brighter, shinier object. It’s anyone’s guess when Venus is retrograde as she is famous for untying the ties that bind. In any case you’re going to have to decide how much you need their support. If you do, then it’s best to retreat because you won’t be able to rally them to your side like you once did and if you feel like winging it? Then this is the time to show what you’re made of. Who knows? You might just wind up winning a bigger and better crowd to your cause.
